Filled with goodies for the JP fan!
A fun and detailed exploration into the making of the first three Jurassic Park films. Beginning in 1983 when Chrichton first began working on the original novel and following the production from concept to screen. Filled to the brim with concept art, story boards, diagrams and behind the scenes photos, this book is a true visual delight! This book also details fun behind the scenes look at production woes faced by the cast and crew as well as a ton (30 plus) removable bits of memorabilia ranging from pages of the script to an "official" jurassic park badge and even stickers. A detailed and exciting read accompanied by the excitement of finding a interactive prize on the next page. Fun for the whole JP loving family!

From the groundbreaking success of the original film to the latest installment in the Jurassic World saga, each chapter explores the highs and lows of the series, providing a comprehensive overview of its evolution over the past three decades.

But perhaps the most compelling aspect of this book is its ability to reignite the sense of wonder and excitement that first drew audiences to Jurassic Park.

WOW! Absolutely The most impressive movie guide ever!!! I have bought a lot of movie/visual guides. But this isn't just heavily comprehensive but FULL of goodies! This book arrived sealed in plastic. As I paged through it I found lots of surprises. Prop replicas, writer notes, storyboards, etc. I really thought I knew EVERYTHING to be known about BTS. I read past books and articles and watched every documentary, clip and special feature and yet in just the first 10 minutes I learned things about the movies I never heard of anywhere else!! I bought this book just because I wanted to add it to the collection but wow, this is a MUST HAVE! $40-50 is a deal for this! Get this book!!! 🦖🦕

I absolutely love this book. 10 out of 10 recommended.
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024
I have loved the JP franchise since I was a kid growing up in the mid-late 1990s. I watch the og 3 movies probably 25 times a year and will sometimes put on one of the movies on to go to sleep to.
So when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. I'm about 40 pages in and oh my goodness this is detailed!
So far it's talked about everything from the history of Michael Crichton writing the book, a summary of the novel, how Crichton and Steven Spielberg met, the development and creation of the preproduction team, the different design teams at Tippet Studios, Stan Winston Studios, ILM, designing the locations, logo, puppets, the various scripts that were rejected — it is SO detailed! AND I'M NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH!!
And then there's inserts like: a car placard like the one in the movie, story boards, sketches and renders of proof of concept art, covers for prop books. All of which can be removed and admired! I'm using the car placard as a book mark, personally.
I had no idea it would be THIS in depth. I expected a brief overview, maybe just a repeat of the stories from the bonus features from the original release and digital re-release, and some storyboard sketches (which, there are a few familiar stories, quotes, and pictures) but there's so much more, too!
If you or someone you know likes the og 3, get 👏 them 👏 this 👏 book 👏

This book is great for all the Jurassic fans in your life. I got this specifically for my husband for a anniversary gift. Once we broke open the book not only was it informative but it had lots of surprises like badges and other little trinkets inside. Definitely worth the purchase!

I purchased this for my teenage son who absolutely loved it! It is a fun and informative book to flip through and read. There are some inserts that have a tendency to fall out but that is easily overlooked. This is a must for Jurassic Park lovers!
